behind the scenes

Quintessential Caption: Getting back to bouldering after a back injury, Berna is crimping strong on this V9.

What it really means: Berna is trying to stick to the starting holds on this pathetic lowball one move wonder. Spot me, will you?

There are far too many "really really hard" bouldering pictures in this site, and I do not believe the captions in half of them. This picture you might ask, it is not V9, and I do not think it is even V4 as listed in dr. topo. There are a lot harder v0 slab problems in jtree.

Both images are shot at the same time (give or take a couple seconds). You can see how much a photograph can distort the reality. The second photographs credit goes to buzbas , who btw was the only one from our group to make that single move.
